As good or better than most 80s films known as classics today. Not sure why it's not more well known. Some say it's 2 long but Scarface...
Adds heart to the story of the first seven American astronauts
There's a lot of movies about USA astronauts, but this one is a great place to start.
The film traces the path from test pilots and breaking the sound barrier to the Mercury space program. A sprawling and fantastic story.
Very long but it’s worth the time to invest in the story. Really fantastic film that is definitely worth a watch
An amazing and captivating look on the heroes and pioneers of the Mercury Space Program.
I remember the US space race watching TV. This epic is wonderful if you love this history. Fabulous cast!!
Great cast and an iconic story of bravery in new ventures. Characters definitely grew and adapted. Easily could have been shorter.
Surprising that a movie on one of the most macho of all possible subject matters, relies on sweetness and charm and excels in doing so.
An epic dramatization of the early days of our country's space program.
